System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When rapid deceleration occurs during engine runs or idle speed decreases due to heavy load conditions, ECM detects a decrease in idle speed and restarts the engine to secure reliability in handleability by transmitting a cranking request signal to IPDM E/R for activating the starter motor under the following conditions:
- Selector lever: P or any position other than N
- Idle switch: ON (Accelerator pedal not depressed)
- Stop lamp switch: ON (Brake pedal depressed)
Models with no Intelligent Key System transmit a control signal directly to IPDM E/R. On the other hand, models with the Intelligent Key System transmit a control signal to IPDM E/R by way of BCM via CAN communication.
IPDM E/R detects an operating state of the starter motor relay and the starter motor control relay and transmits a feed back signal to ECM via CAN Communication.
